Scott:

I'm not sure I understand what you wrote. Is there any situation in which using a reserved word as the name of a parameter variable would be meaningful?

Given that, in this particular situation, the IDE is going to ignore my
use of "msg" as a parameter variable name, would it make any sense for
the compiler to flag this as a likely problem?

I'm not sure you expect the IDE to *know* that you didn't intend call the
message box versus making a script error.  Sure, the context could be gauged
to some extent, but perhaps you *did* intend to call the message box and
simply made a contextual script error in the remainder of your code.

Chalk it up to a learning experience.  In much the same way that one has to
learn how to use "alert" in Javascript and "trace" in ActionScript to get
the same result as "answer" in X-talk.
